TEARS TO SHREDS FALSE CLAIMS of ECONOMY AND PROSPERTY BY REPUBLICAN
Former Fort Wayne Newspaper Man tlectrifies the Thousinds in Speech At Houston Convention
A stormy challenge by the national democracy to the Republican presidential ticket and platform not vet two weeks old went roaring out oveg the radio and telegraph Tuesday night as notice to the world that the party of Jefferson and Old Hickory would enter the November lists with blood in its eye.. . Claude G. Bowers of New York temporay chairman and carefully select® ed keynote speaker touched off a veritable powder keg of Democratig enthusiasm. He tore mercilesaly at the record of two Republican adminis; trations those of Harding and Coolidge to sweep his auditors in the crowded pavilion into outbursts of applause as he went down the line on the oil scandals, farm legislation, “fake prosperity” “unemployment”’ and al Ithe other legations of Republican misrule upon which the Democrats propose to base the fight foy election of their presidential ticket. The New York editor formerly a Fort Wayne newspaperman spoke {0 a crowd many of which had been drenched by a heavy thunder shower which penetrated the roof of the newly built auditorium but the delegates were willing to forget theirl own discomborts and the fight over the prosi@emial nomination which seemed assured to Gov. Smith of New ork in order to hear him sound thg party battle ery. Especially vociferoas was the re-‘} action of the convention to Bowers’ demand that the hand of privilege be taken from the throats of the farmers. Kvery state standard was removed from its moorings and a parade of several minutes followed. The standard bearers made up the major part of the procession while the delegates cheered. - ; Bowers’ keynote was the principal business of the night session the re. mainder of the time being taken up with necessary routine such as ap—‘ pointment of committees and adopy tion of rules of procedure.

MADAM WILSON REGEIVES OVATION
ELECTRIFIES WITH SPEECH AUDIENCE OF TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND AT HOUSTON
Widow of Fermer War President May - Not. Take Any Aective Part in Demoeratic Convention
. Mrs. ‘Woodrow Wilson has become the “first lady” of this convention by general acclaim, and politicians were speculating today whether her infuence would extend into the more practical phase of sideline participation in the Houston convention. ~
- Unexpectedly Mrs, Wilson made a significant speech at dedication ceremonies of Sam Houston hall. Smiling and charming-sheé expressed hope to 25,000. heavers that this convention would be more “harmonious” than the last ome. . - From the ovation the widow of the war president received and the way hundreds of women almost mobbed her at union station it was apparent she would have siugular influence at least with women delegates if she cared to take part. A
There were reports that Mrs. Wilson looks favorably upon the candidacy of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York. Accepting those reports many regarded her plea for harmony as significant since that has been the .keynote of the Smith managers here. They régard the New York governor's nomination as certain, but they want everybody to be in a good humor over it when the melee is over and not go home nursing their
separate little grudges as after the Madison Square Garden convention. Mrs. Wilson is generally recognized as a capable woman and is credited with having been an ‘able assistant to Wilson during his illness in his last days in the White House. She helped advise him on the peculiar and heavy problems of those days and knows much of the inside of politics.
